LEXINGTON, Neb. (March 1)
– Dawson County Raceway has found a happy medium in IMCA’s Karl Chevrolet
Northern SportMods. The division becomes the
fourth sanctioned class running on weekly race cards at the Lexington oval.
Opening night is May 2, with championship night on Aug. 22 and the Husker
Fall Nationals special Sept. 25-26. The third spoke in a
weekend triumvirate, Dawson County is the Sunday night home for many of the
same IMCA Modified, IMCA Sunoco Stock Car and IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock
drivers who compete Fridays at McCook Speedway and Saturdays at Lincoln
County Raceway. McCook and Lincoln County
also add the Northern SportMods in 2010. “We were starting to lose
some drivers in the Modified division because of costs and had drivers in
the Hobby Stock classes looking to move up,” Dawson County promoter Allen
Wissmann said. “The Northern SportMods are sort of a happy medium for
them.” All three tracks are in
IMCA’s ButlerBuilt Central Region for Modifieds and Probe Industries
Northern regions for Stock Cars and for Hobby Stocks. Each will host three
9-for-9 Burger King Challenge events, which will pay bonuses this season to
eligible Modified drivers. “Because we share a lot of
the same drivers, the three tracks work pretty closely together,” said
Wissmann. “And we start our Sunday shows at 6:30 p.m. so we can get the
races over and get everybody on the road and headed home at a decent time.”
